"It's okay if you have this in mind. Even if you get married, you still have to care about yourself the most!" Tian Tian sighed as she watched Shen Lingling lying on the kang and rubbing her waist.
"You can rest here for a while. I will cook for you at noon and make your portion for you as well. You can have lunch at my house and don't go back. You can save yourself the trouble of bending over to cook and light the fire. You can rest in my room!"
"How can I say that? Every household doesn't have much food now. The food distributed from last year's autumn harvest has been almost eaten up now. I guess your family doesn't have enough to eat either. I'd better go home and cook! Besides, Fang Siwen also needs to eat at noon, so I have to go back and cook for him." After saying that, Shen Lingling supported herself on the kang and was about to sit up.
"Please be quiet!" Tian Tian pushed Shen Lingling down again. "I get salary and food coupons every month now. Of course the amount may not be much, but it's more than enough to treat you to a meal." Tian Tian slapped Shen Lingling down again.
When she came back yesterday, she had a lot of food coupons in her pocket. If there was no food at home, she could just take the food coupons to the grain station to exchange for food.
Shen Lingling couldn't bear the pain in her waist any more, so when she heard what Tian Tian said, she didn't say anything and obediently followed Tian Tian's force and lay back on the kang.
After saying this, Tian Tian went out to cook.
After seeing Tian Tian leave, Shen Lingling raised her hand, took the textbook on the table, and flipped through it.
The textbook was filled with notes, and many places were marked with red pen.
Shen Lingling had been to school for a few years after all, and she could recognize most of the words in the textbooks, but she couldn't understand many of the symbols. Even the questions that Tian Tian had answered correctly, she couldn't understand them herself.
Shen Lingling closed the book somewhat disappointedly and put it aside.
She buried her head in her arms. She had always wanted to stay with Fang Siwen, but now that she was really with Fang Siwen, she missed the scenes of the three sisters being together. At that time, they never had anything to talk about. They always had endless topics to talk about. It was completely different from now.
It was a rare opportunity for Shen Lingling to have some rest. Besides, yesterday's issues had been resolved, so she didn't have to worry anymore. Lying on the warm kang in Tiantian's room, Shen Lingling slowly fell asleep.
After Tian Tian prepared the meal, she wanted to bring the food into the house for Shen Lingling to eat, but when she came in, she found Shen Lingling asleep. She tiptoed out and closed the door.
Then Tian Tian put the food in the pot to keep it warm, and then took the food that had been prepared long ago and went to the field to give it to Old Lady Tian and the others.
When passing by the educated youth residence on the way home, Tian Tian did not forget to go outside the residence and shouted to Fang Siwen, telling him that Shen Lingling would not cook for him at noon and would bring food to him, so that Fang Siwen could have lunch with other educated youth in the team.
When she came back, Shen Lingling was still sleeping. Tian Tian finished her meal quietly, washed all the dishes and chopsticks she brought back from the field, and prepared to go back to the house to study.
As a result, when he entered the room, he found that Shen Lingling was awake. Shen Lingling didn't expect that she had slept for such a long time. She was anxious to get up, but she pulled her waist and screamed in pain.
"Don't be anxious, go slow!" Tian Tian quickly went over and supported Shen Lingling.
"What time is it now? Have everyone started work yet?" Shen Lingling asked anxiously.
"No! We haven't started work yet. Everyone is eating in the fields. You know we eat early every day. If you get up now, eat, and clean up, you will still have time to go to the fields." Tian Tian said.
Shen Lingling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. After dinner, she went home, changed into work clothes, and went to work in the fields.
Tian Tian stayed at home for a weekend. On Sunday night, she went to the educated youth center, brought the books back to school.
In the following days, Tian Tian secretly studied in the shell every night when everyone was asleep. She quickly went through the entire book within two months, checked for gaps and filled in the gaps, improving some knowledge points and question types that she was previously weak in.
The others who decided to take the college entrance examination have also been studying like crazy in the past two months, studying day and night, especially those in the educated youth centers. Old Mrs. Tian said that those in the educated youth centers worked late into the night, and they had long dark circles under their eyes. At first glance, they looked like scholars whose energy had been sucked away by a fox spirit.
One week before the college entrance examination, the number of places for the college entrance examination was counted, and everyone began to register for the schools they wanted to apply to.
The difference between now and in the future is that you no longer estimate your scores and apply to schools after the exam, nor do you apply after the results are released. Instead, before the exam, you estimate your scores based on your level of study and fill in the schools you want to apply for.
To be honest, Tian Tian was also quite surprised when she heard about this way of applying, but she didn't think this method was that good.
How many years has the college entrance examination been abandoned? Many educated youth went to the countryside ten years ago. In the past ten years, let alone taking exams, they have not even read books, and there is no set of serious examination papers for everyone to do.
How do you know how many points you will get in the exam?
Tian Tian was also very worried when she heard the news. She did ask her high school teacher for a few sets of papers and did them, and her grades were pretty good. However, the college entrance examination had been abandoned for so many years, and no one knew how difficult the test papers were, what the question types were, and what kind of questions this year's college entrance examination would tend to ask. So the score was still inaccurate.
Fortunately, two days before the application, Gu Zhao specially sent a whole set of handwritten papers, saying that Fang Siwen's family got the papers from Beijing and sent them by urgent telegram.
"Sent by telegram?" Tian Tian looked at the thick stack of papers in her hand in disbelief. "How much would it cost to send a telegram for so many papers?"
The price of telegrams is very expensive now, it seems that one word costs three cents. This piece of paper must cost a lot of money, not to mention several pieces of paper, which must be a sky-high price.
"It must have cost a lot of money, but Fang Siwen didn't hide it. He took out all the papers and asked us to copy one by hand. After we finished, we estimated our scores. I thought you were also planning to take the college entrance examination, so I brought these papers to you this morning. You can also do this set of papers, and I will help you mark them after you finish. How many points do you have?" Gu Zhao said with a smile.
"Okay! But where are we going to do the questions?" Tian Tian asked.
